Liszt, Franz. (1811–1886). "Dante Symphony" - Autograph Musical Quotation. Substantial AMQS, dated April, 1858. 1 1/2 pp. 8vo. The first side with 17 measures on 4 systems marked within the passage "dolcissimo" and "sempre dolcissimo," concluding on the verso with 4 measures, signed "F. Liszt / April 58" and with an affixed snip of grass and ribbon in the colors of the German flag pasted beneath. The first movement of the Dante Symphony, transcribed note-for-note, taken from bars 287-293; 302-307 (1st half); 344 (2nd half)-352. In very good condition, with some stains, small chips around edges and creases. The album from which the leaf was originally removed remains unknown, but it has been proposed - based on the date and Lisz'ts correspondance with her at that time, including about the Dante Symphony - that it may have been penned for Agnes Street-Klindworth.
